Award-Winning AP Physics 2 Tutors serving Barrington, IL

...part of General Tutoring in which I voluntarily tutor a high school sophomore every week in mathematics. Although I am comfortable in tutoring a variety of subjects, I am most interested in Mathematics and Science. From my experience in teaching, I have found that the most successful method for a student's success is additional practice....

...in instruction. So switched my career path, I'm currently working as a science teacher. I can assist you in biology, chemistry, physics, and in some areas of math. I can help you with your homework, studying for quizzes/ tests, or even preparing for high stakes exams like an AP test or SAT/ACT.

I am currently a student at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, working towards a Bachelor of Science in Chemistry.

As a student who is truly passionate about Math and Science, I seek to help others understand Calculus, Physics, Chemistry, etc, so that their foundation in the sciences is strong enough to take on more complex topics. I believe in letting my teaching style be dynamic in order to teach different students successfully.... My philosophy is that I should teach my students how to reason, not how to use a formula. Truly understanding a concept better...

...educated during the era of no child left behind. However, since I was at the top of the class, little focus was placed on my education after the second grade. As a result I had to teach myself. Through trial and error in my own self-education, I learned how to approach study through many facets....

...hope to share this with my students, mainly through Physics and Mathematics. In my teaching style, I prefer to use a firm but gentle approach to learning, starting with a general principle before working step-by-step through its practical applications so that the student can properly understand and internalize the material. In my spare time, I...

...helping students develop their skills in whatever way I can. I studied mathematics at Purdue University, and I have a passion for this subject and sharing it with others. I am also comfortable helping students prepare for the ACT. I look forward to meeting you and hope to begin to take some positive steps together!

...did well in school and I want you to do well, too! When I tutor I ask: what needs to be learned, how can it be taught, and have they learned it. I like to show students how this process can occur through class, homework, and review so they can become independent learners. I'm so...

...helped raise my four younger siblings and have worked as a counselor multiple times. Plus, some of my friends at college needed a bit of help, and I was happy to if they asked. I want to help your child succeed to the best of their abilities. I like helping people. It's what I do.

...been with VT for 5+ years now and tutor the stem disciplines. Chemistry, organic chem, biochem, and MCAT chemistry are my strengths. I also tutor calc 1,2, and 3, algebra, pre calc, and geometry. I'm proud to say I've maintained a 5 star review, and I'm confident I can assist the student!

...focus on reaching their long term goals in addition to just learning the material needed at the moment. I graduated from Purdue University with a BSEE degree and have worked at Motorola in technical roles as well as an Engineering manager where I managed and mentored junior engineers. I have taught all the subjects and...

...atmosphere for you to enjoy what you are learning so I call it 'Learn as you have fun' experience. I understand students are different but all students like to have fun! This was the approach I used for myself. You will learn and enjoy your learning process. Personal interest: Soccer, gaming, singing, playing keyboard, leadership...

...especially those related to the SAT or ACT. My teaching style will be adapted to an individual student's needs. For example, with a kinesthetic learner, I would have have them do practice problems, assisting with explanations as needed. When I'm not tutoring, I enjoy drawing, learning new songs on the piano, and board games.

...a student myself, I connect well with other students to understand how they learn and develop the best plan of action. I believe that the best way to learn is by teaching, so I dedicate time and effort behind each student and I try to teach them how to teach themselves as well.

...to autonomize problem solving skills and processes they can apply to all problems rather than just helping them get the answer they need on a specific problem. This is the approach that my teachers used with me, and I've found it to be successful in teaching others as well. In fact, a student I tutored...

...of the students. I have a laid back demeanor, and I try to make studying as stress-free and enjoyable. I will always answer your calls and texts and I'm great at responding to emergency "My problem set is due tomorrow?!?!" or "I have a test when?!" situations. I have a thorough knowledge of the Cornell...

I was introduced to VT by a friend. I love interacting with students and share my knowledge with them, watch them learn subjects and succeed. I enjoy the results that we get out of our shared effort.

...chemist by training. However, I also enjoy tutoring physics and math. I try to promote a growth mindset in my tutoring sessions and aim to help students build confidence in math and science. I received a Ph.D. in Physical Chemistry from UC Berkeley and a B.S. in Chemistry and Physics from Haverford College.
